If a vendor refuses to accept the exemption card, can I get a refund of the sales tax on that purchase?

Yes, you can get a refund of the sales tax. Download form 13-9 "Application for Credit or Refund of State and Local Sales or Use Tax". Complete the form, attach copies of your receipts and mail to: Oklahoma Tax Commission, Account Maintenance Division, P. O. Box 269060, Oklahoma City, Ok. 73126-9060.

With the passage of SB1084, effective August 25, 2006, vendors are now required to accept the Veterans Exemption Card.

If a vendor chooses not to accept the card, they could face a $500 fine.

If you have been denied the exemption, please use Form 13-37 to notify the Oklahoma Tax Commission of the offense.
